[[Atheism]] offers no condemnation of [[rape]] and it provides no [[moral]] basis a society to attempt to prevent and deter rape. Western atheists often assert there are no absolutes in morality and argue for [[moral relativism]] (see: [[Atheism and morality]]).

TheAmazingAtheist is [[YouTube]]'s most subscribed to YouTube channel produced by an atheist and as of February of 2012 it had over 280,000 subscribers. In 2012, he viciously told a rape victim "you deserved it" and told her that her rapist "deserved a medal". He also told her that she should try to relive the rape in her mind.

On June 14, 2012, an article published by an advocate of the [[Question evolution! campaign]] declared:
{{cquote|The website ''Submitted to a Candid World'' is written by an agnostic and the website was praised by the prominent atheist [[PZ Myers]] in the past.
On April 20, 2012 an article appeared in ''Submitted to a Candid World'' which declared:
'Several of my close friends — coincidentally, all extremely intelligent, math/science oriented, and leaders in the freethought/rationality/atheist communities — find themselves practicing and promoting an arrangement they term “polyamory.” Essentially, this describes a post-jealousy, highly rationalized state where participants date each other, and several others simultaneously.
In the ideal polyamorous relationship, one man is seriously “dating” several women, each of whom is in turn dating several men.'
Several leaders of the "freethought"/atheist community are practicing and promoting polyamory. This is not going to help the poor reputation that atheism already has among the public. The [[Mormon]]s promoted polygamy for a while and later retracted their position due to the public outrage.
Of course, atheist leaders engaging in and promoting practices such as polyamory is one of the many reasons why atheism has such a bad reputation in the world.<ref>[http://questionevolution.blogspot.com/2012/06/atheism-and-unstable-relationships.html Atheist leaders and immoral relationships]</ref>}}
